All workSolid BarrelPre-launch
A new packaging brand with a drum you can turn in your browser
Solid Barrel sells steel and HDPE drums, IBC totes, pails, jerricans, bottles and fittings, new and reconditioned, from a 50,000 square foot warehouse in Taylor, Texas. "For everything you fill."
Plant managers, distillers, chemical blenders and anyone else who knows exactly which drum they need and is tired of calling for a price.
Most packaging sites are catalogs with a phone number. Solid Barrel stocks locally and puts freight on a truck within two business days, and freight is the thing that decides whether a drum order makes sense at all.
The drum itself. One object, rendered live, that you can turn to check the closure, the lining and the rim before you order. Navy, silver and a compressed grotesk that sounds like a warehouse, not a marketplace.
The name, the voice, the identity, and a Next.js storefront on Neon with a three.js drum on every page that sells drums, live LTL and parcel rates from SAIA and UPS at quote time, a 2 p.m. Central same-day cutoff, and Net-30 on approval.
Drag to rotate the drum. Change the closure and the model changes. Enter a ZIP and the freight line updates before you've committed to anything. Every fact on the site carries a source and a date, or it isn't on the site.
